2013 was a very good year for … the triumph of TV love

2013 was a great year for TV love. While people are always falling in and out of the romantic state on television, true love doesn’t often triumph. However, thanks to big love moments on shows like “Castle,” “Bones,” “Parks and Recreation” and “New Girl,” the fictional world was a more heart-filled place.

That’s how long “Bones” fans have been waiting for the wedding that occurred in the Season 9 episode, “The Woman in White.” In the meantime, there were love-hate relationships, dating other people, misunderstandings, disappearances to foreign nations, comas, unrequited feelings, near-engagements, false engagements, framings for murder, serial killers, catastrophic fires and more.

When looked at this way, it’s a miracle that “Bones” ever made it to the altar at all.

A full season of Castle and Beckett dating didn’t make moving forward a given. After all, no show had more “Moonlighting”-curse nonsense to deal with than the screwball comedy-mystery of “Castle.”

But just when we thought that the detective couple might break up, “Castle” threw us a curve ball: Castle proposed to Beckett. And she said yes! (Granted, only after saying “no” and getting super flustered)

The engagement remained strong throughout 2013 too. It may not last in 2014, but let’s live for today!

OK, this one was pretty much inevitable and a shining example of a happy, healthy relationship on TV. But Leslie and Ben got married! Not even Councilman Jamm and his stink-bombs could make the impromptu wedding from being perfect.
